A guidance booklet aimed at tackling bullying in Cardiff schools is launched this week.

Bullying Matters is a guide to help schools develop anti-bullying policies. Guidelines include advice on how to identify bullying, how to involve parents and carers in tackling it and the support that is available to schools from the local authority.

Executive member for education, Bill Kelloway, said: 'If children are to make progress in their education, the environment for learning should be safe and caring.'
